Normally the eth1:1 and eth0 auto lines are commented out. To explain eth1:0 and eth1:1, there was a time where I was bouncing between this machine being the router and a wireless router being the router. Stupid building practices in the house I am renting. Every time I swapped between those two IPs I'd have to reconfigure all my machines to look for the Squid proxy in a new location. Normally after my wife got frustrated that the proxy disappeared. So in the name of marital bliss I decided to just leave the machine on .21 permanently and alias .1 to it whenever it is acting as the router. > xenbr interface automatically. and breakdown that eth1 setup to just a > basic one (simplify, right?) and see what happens. I have done that. I get anything from the bridge getting the IP to nothing having the IP to no bridge/vif/veths at all. At this point I'm going to uninstall all the packages and start over. However since I know how to get it working thanks to my test on my laptop I'll just duplicate that setup. Really though, testing is a tad flubbed. -- Steve Lamb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
